Ryan
originally bought this as his second 4wd - the
first 4wd lasted 2 days due to a truck not being
able to stop and collecting its rear end. The
Pajero was chosen because of the price and that
it was a diesel, all that was needed was a motor
rebuild and the Paj would be rearing to go.
This took longer then expected and all the drama's
that followed with the motor after the rebuild
nearly had the Paj end up at the scrap yard.

Once
the motor was sorted it went in for a 2inch lift and Ryan
started to do a lot of touring (Cameron's corner etc)
and the weekend trips out with his mates in NSW gradually
became harder and harder till the point came that the
poor Paj was starting to struggle. Being the type of person
Ryan is, who likes to be different, he looked around at
his options and heard about the solid axel swaps on Toyota
Surfs and on a Pajero in Vic.

With
a little help from a local 4wd Shop in NSW, they started
by removing the ifs and putting in a Dana 30 high pinion
diff out of a Jeep XJ Cherokee. The fact that the pumpkin
was on the same side as the Pajero's drive shaft meant
that the the diff would not have to be cut and flipped.
This was an added bonus! For those wondering, the diff's
reliability has not been a major issue due to the lack
of power typical of Pajeros.

CliffHanger 2014 Update

Day three has brought with it not only a variety of carnage, but high spirits. The Video Crew has lost one camera after a vehicle (rumored to have been driven by Guy Steuart) dislodged a bolder which crushed the camera, battery, LCD screen, memory card and tripod (RIP GoPro3). Jason Forssman in the Repco truck rolled on Monday night, then got the truck fixed to race on Tuesday, then managed to destroy a rear diff in the rock garden. For more highlights, images and videos, visit the TMR Video Crews Facebook page here.

Certificates of Appreciation

During the 2013 TMR Christmas BBQ & Charity Fundraiser, with the help of many of the generous forum vendors who donated prizes, TMR was able to raise several thousand dollars which was divided and donated in whole between three charity groups that had been selected by the forum members. Below are the selected charities, and the certificates they issued in recognition of TMR's community support.

TMR has been fortunate today to view a sneak peak of the Victoria Government's new Farming Zone paper, which for 3 years now has been the sole cause of limited offroad racing taking place within the state.

The final draft of the Farming Zone paper indicates that the prohibition of offroad racing on farm land has been removed. In short this means that soon (unless they change their minds), event organisers will be able to apply and obtain permits to run races (pending the necessary requirements such as insurance and environmental scans).

We await the final release of the paper with bated breath.

Cliffhanger 2013 - Racing And Filming

Since 2008, TMR has been at each Cliffhanger event as the official DVD film/media crew. This year though, in addition to filming, TMR also sent Brad and D'Wayne to compete in their trusty Nissan Patrol TD42. For 7 solid days the guys battled against hardened professionals, and managed to not only complete the event but took out 21st place out of the 47 vehicles present.

TMR Christmas Party - Saturday 15 December 2012

Once again TMR will be hosting its annual Christmas BBQ at Brimbank Park (Victoria) on Saturday 15 December 2012 to allow new and old members to catch up and talk shop. This year we will be running a raffle with numerous offroad prizes to be won - with all proceeds raised going directly to the Royal Children's Hospital. So why not come down, grab a bite, have a chat, test your vehicle on the Traveling Flex Ramp, and enjoy the festive season whilst contributing to a great cause.

A very long time ago, back in 2007 when TMR first started, there were a handful of race members. Over time some left to pursue new activities, others joined. Today I am happy to welcome back one of the very first racers - BigEars aka EvilGQ. For information about the race crew, visit the 'Team Mudrhino' section
or press [here].
